As a floral artist working primarily with acrylic painting, I am captivated by the vibrant beauty and intricate details found within the realm of flowers. My artistic journey is fueled by a deep passion for colors and their ability to evoke emotions and create visual harmony. I believe that color is a language of its own, capable of transcending barriers and stirring deep emotions within the viewer. In my work, I hope to remind viewers of the profound beauty and delicate balance that exists in the natural world. By immersing themselves in the richness of color and the intricacy of floral forms, I hope to inspire a renewed appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us and to encourage a deeper connection with nature. Ultimately, my goal as a floral artist is to create an emotional and sensory experience forever captured on the canvas.
BIO
Lauren Morris was born in Cape Town, South Africa, where she studied and worked as a Graphic Designer. Several years later, a keen drive to widen her creative scope, coupled with a penchant for travel initiated a trip to America. It was there that she had the opportunity to continue working in Washington D.C. while attending classes at the Corcoran School of Art, in Arlington, Virginia. She learnt to work and explore the many options of Fine Art. Following seven years of both academic and artistic accomplishments, she moved to Vancouver and was thrown into a world full of challenges: "My art and my senses merged. Making art for me was like exploring a new country for the first time. After completing continuing Education classes at Emily Carr in Vancouver she was immersed in a world of New Beginnings. Painting predominantly in acrylics and mixed media, she hopes to inspire thought and to evoke the viewers' emotions through visual imagery".
